155 in a certain 914-6

195 in a 912/ 935 La Carrera Classic Started life as a 912, became a SCCA D/P road racer, I got a hold of it and it was slippery slope all the way to a ex Kremer 935 single turbo motor pushing the 935-ish body through the air.
You can imagine the anxiety build as you keep the top speed down a 12 mile long stretch of highway south of the border

Mandaracing (posting above) rescued me from further "slope disease" by purchasing it and racing it himself

130 and still climbing in my old 86 Carrera Cab on US 10 across the CA/AZ desert.
120+ several times in the 993.
For some reason the 86 felt more planted at speed.

Got my old SC up past 120 at Lowes Motor Speedway. Smooth as silk, and I wanted more, but I could not change the laws of physics, man.

Not sure if this counts but about 150-155mph as a passenger in a BMW M5 for a long period of time while on the autobahn early nineties as a buddy of mine drove me to the airport. We got caught and passed by an 850i and watched him fade off in the distance as he pulled away.
